$12 / $100
Joshua Bell, violin
Jeremy Denk, piano
Ludwig van Beethoven – Violin Sonata No. 5 in F major, Op. 24 "Spring"
Ludwig van Beethoven – Violin Sonata No. 9 in A major, Op. 47 "Kreutzer"
The outstanding violinist Joshua Bell and acclaimed pianist Jeremy Denk, longtime collaborators, bring their insightful artistry to bear on two pieces central to the violin-and-piano repertoire: Beethoven’s "Spring" and "Kreutzer" sonatas.
Rooted in the Classical world of Mozart, the "Spring Sonata" of 1801 is one of the most beloved violin sonatas of all time. The optimism and lyricism of its melodies likely suggested the sonata’s nickname, which was not Beethoven’s own. The "Kreutzer Sonata", composed three years later, is a contrastingly dramatic and intense work that stands with such larger works as the "Eroica" and Fifth symphonies as defining Beethoven’s “heroic” voice.
Available August 22, 2020 at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific, through August 29.
